30 Days of Holiday Dress-ing | No. 9 the Purrrfect Animal Print
Animal print is so fun. I’m so glad it has become a trend once more – a little bit of exotic never hurt anyone! But who am I kidding, I’d wear it anyway! I went on an ASOS binge one day (the best kind of shopping binge) and nabbed not only today’s featured look, but this shorter version as well. I shot these photos right before a haircut – those bangs grow so fast!
Getting used to having shorter hair has been fun – it’s definitely a lot easier to style, but I find it gets dirty faster if that makes sense? I used to be able to go several days before washing my long hair – three days max with this short hair and even then, it’s pretty gross. Do any of you have short hair? Occasionally I’ll find myself longing for my long locks but I think for now, I’ll stick to this newer edgy version of me, it’s kind of fun!
I paired this look with a military trench – a little flirty mixed with a little edge. I’ve had this jacket for years – I bought it from Victoria’s Secret when they still sold clothes. It’s still one of my favorite jackets. My patent Mary Janes are also from an earlier SJP collection – but I love them still! Do you have any items you can’t let go of? I think it’s so easy to fall into the mindset that everything you wear out is outdated if it isn’t new. I hate that! I get teased for having so many new things, but I really keep a lot of things I find are staples or too unique to let go of. The most wonderful thing about fashion is that everything will come into trend again, sooner or later! Don’t you agree? You can find these gorgeous earrings in more than just this olive color, they are SO fun! Still need some holiday inspo? What about pairing an animal print top or coat with the high waisted pants from this post? Or with some bold patent pants from this post? Yes!!

Amazing article! All outfits are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! ????
Love the green jacket and animal print dress combo!!! I would have never thought to put them together!
I love a good animal print. It’s so classic, and can be dressed up or down. I also love the sleeves on this dress! What a fun surprise. Your earrings are amazing, too. I actually had a dream about cheetah shoes last night HAHA. So random. Great outfit!
I am absolutely in love with your style! The way you put together this outfit is so cute!
This is a great combination together, I like how the dress looks very elegant on it’s own but you can pair it with the jacket and it looks a bit more casual. I need all the style help I can get!
Amazing pictures and fun ideas, great resources for people who are not as fashion-versed (like me).
I absolutely love the whole outfit! Especially the jacket and shoes
I absolutely love that coat! So pretty.
You look so amazing and I know that people say that all the time in comments but everything about your look is so fly, I actually mean it. I LOVE your dress and earrings.
